Alimentary substance and its manufacture



Patented July 21, 1931 UNI E STATES CHARLES MAGAT, OF PARIS, FRANCE ALIMSENTABY SUBSTANCE AND ITS MANUFACTURE No Drawing. Application filed August 5, 1929, Serial No. 383,782, and in Great Britain September 28, 1928,

This invention relates to a process for the manufacture of an alimentary substance.

According to this invention an alimentary nutritive substance is' prepared by mixing together intimately, melted vegetable fat,

such as cocoa-butter, and chocolate and cooling themass so obtained quickly by contact with ice so that a product is obtained which under the action of'the salivary juices produces a sensation of cold when consumed.

An example of how the invention may be carried into effect is given-below.

First of all I prepare a chocolate whose composition is as follows Percent Cocoa 45 Sugar 15 (locoa-butternln 2 Fecula 38 The percentage of fecula may be modified, the total of the three constitutents, sugar, cocoa butter and fecula, beingvariable between the limits of 45% to 55% of the mixture with the cocoa. The quantity of vegetable fat (e. g; cocoa-butter) is variable according to the prevailing temperature, the proportion being increased for low temperatures. For example, in summer, I add 13,2

temperature to decrease to about 68 F. and

add the flavorin The mixture is cast into moulds and quic 1y cooled so as to congeal the fats. i

This substance,'. which can be stored indefinitely provided it isaway from heat and dampness, has the property, in contact with whereby a then made aromatic with any 1 by means of ice 061d whenplaced in the mouth. Ittherefore forms an article of confectionery which is agreeable to the taste and a product of 'ufacturing the chocolate, one half of the sugar ultimately required being kept out, mixing the sugar kept out with a fatty material, and then mixing these two products together at a temperature not high enough to melt the fatty material.

It has also been proposed to manufacture chocolate by reducing the various ingredients, which may include cocoa-butter or any other fat, to a liquid form and atomizing th 'se together in a particular atmosphere ne powder of dry chocolate substance is obtained, the particles being coated with cocoa-butter or other fat, from which cake chocolate can be made.

Having nowv particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is:

A method of making an edible chocolate product consisting in melting a vegetable fat at a'temperature not exceeding 86 F., cooking finely ground chocolate in the fat until an intimate mixture is obtained, decreasing the cooking temperature to 68 F., adding J the flavoring, casting the mixture into molds,

apt} quickly cooling the'mixture by means 0 ice. i y

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature. CHARLES MAGAT.
